Olympus Magna-Mike 8600 - Table 13 Resulting ID Examples for the INCREMENTAL File Type

DMTA-10026-01EN, Rev. D, January 2015
Using the Datalogger 115
• Begins incrementing with the right-most character.
• Extends leftward until reaching the first punctuation or special character, or the
left-most character, whichever comes first.
• Increments digits from 0, 1, 2,..., 9. Makes the 9 to 0 transition only after
incrementing the character to the left.
• Increments letters from A, B, C,..., Z. Makes the Z to A transition only after
incrementing the character to the left.
• When an ID cannot be incremented after saving a reading, the Cannot increment
ID! message momentarily appears in the help text bar. Subsequent saves
overwrite the reading of the last possible ID until you change the ID value range.
To make the gage increment through a range of numbers several digits wide while
beginning with a single digit ID number, the maximum number of digit positions
must be entered initially using leading zeroes (see examples in Table 13 on page 115).
